 Coach Tommy Tuberville kicks off our 2007 Season!

In his ninth season at Auburn, head coach Tommy Tuberville as established his program as one of the nation's elite. In the ast three seasons, Tuberville has directed the Tigers to 33 wins and a .868 winning percentage (33-5) which is tied for third best in the country in both categories. The 2006 season saw Tuberville direct the Tigers to their second 10-win campaign in the previous three years, including a 17-14 victory over Nebraska in theAT&T Cotton Bowl Classic. His 2006 squad was the only program in the country to defeat two teams ranked in the top five nationally - National Champion Florida and  LSU. His five straight  victories over arch-rival Alabama has never been equaled. The season before Tuberville's arrival, Auburn finished with a dismal 3-8 overall record  and a last place finish in the SEC Western Division.Tuberville guided the program back to the top of the league standings, leading Auburn to an SEC Championship, five Western Division titles including outright championships in 2000 and 2004 and cochampionships in 2001, 2002 and 2005. Since 2000, the program has the best conference record among SEC teams with a mark of 42-14 (.750). Tuberville has directed Auburn to seven consecutive bowl appearances, including five New Year's Day bowl berths and three consecutive January 1 bowl games. Tuberville understands the process and commitment it takes to build a successful program. Coaching stops at perennial college football powers University of Miami and Texas A&M and a four-year head coaching stint at the University of Mississippi gave him the background in building and maintaining a successful program. Tuberville is married to the former Suzanne Fette of Guilford, Ind. They are the parents of two sons, Thomas Tucker (13) and Troy Allen (11).
